Is Marik Ishtar going to be an unlockable character in Duel Links?

Hello, I’m going to keep this quite short and simple. I read the overview on Marik Ishtar's profile info, but I spotted ‘ His Yami version is more likely to be an unlockable character to avoid having 2 of the same character.'
Wait does that mean Marik will not be another unlockable character?? A lot of people I know, including myself really want Marik as a playable character, not just his Yami. To be honest, same thing goes with Bakura. There’s a lot of people that want both the characters. You have Yami Yugi and Yugi? Sure they’re the main characters and all, but Ryou Bakura and just Marik are characters too. I really doubt the devs will be getting hate for having '2 of the 'same' character'
So if anyone agrees with me, can we try and get this to the devs? Thank you.

I believe they should make a Marik Ishtar unlockable character with alternate art card for Slifer the Sky Dragon.
It's been about 3 years Konami. Give the fans what they want!

I want Marik Ishtar and Bakura to be playable I want the mission to make Marik vs Yami Marik to make easy missions

I want Marik to. He personly is my favorite yugioh chartor and if you have YAMI Marik you should have Marik Ishtar too you cant have the darkness without the light and Marik and Odion are the only people in the anime that can difft him. And you can have Ishizu and Odion without Marik

Normal Marik and bakura would be awesome!

I still would like to see Ryou Bakura and Marik Ishtar.

I know that there was an event where they ask the gamers if they want new characters included (I still didn't have the game back then) and I asked mutuals who played it to ask for Ryou and Marik. I hope many other people did too and I hope we will get them!

Maybe normal Marik will be unlockable with Slifer... if they decide to make Slifer unlockable.
We don't really see normal Marik duel all that much outside of mind puppets (or his bff) so it'd make sense to make his iconic deck a bit Slifer based (as he used it as Strings against Atem and all that).

Probably.

They have datamined profile pictures for Marik Ishtar which would suggest he will one day be selectable and playable. He also made a brief cameo at the end of the Yami Marik Part 2 event so he definitely will show up in the game either way. I guess the only question is what his skills/Ace monster/drops will be. Yami Marik already has Ra and Marik's "burn deck", and Ishizu already has some Gravekeeper's monsters. My guess is he would add additional Gravekeeper's cards (including Necrovalley) and maybe some skills that revolve around them.

Honestly, normal Bakura doesn't have a deck, and Yami Bakura stole his deck from some Battle City person
